Found by the Lycan King

Chapter 155

Zenovia

“And you call yourself an alpha? Getting scared by a bunch of rumors.” Callahan sneered and added, “Get up and get your act together. You are a disgrace to the alpha title.”

Rick got up hastily and looked at Elijah and me once, feeling ashamed that he had an audience when the King was lecturing him.

“Take out the other bodies and place them on the table as well. I want to see their backs.”

“I..I will, King. Please do not strip me of my title.”

Rick kept pleading and begging, but Callahan paid no attention to his pleas. He only waited for Rick to complete the task.

One after another, Rick pulled out the drawers and put the rest of the bodies on the table, too. And just like he had presumed, all of them had identical marks on their backs.

Callahan and Elijah only exchanged looks as I tried to make sense of what was going on. This was even more dizzying.

My mouth felt dry but I could not drink water here without feeling sick. How could that Rogue King be so evil and twisted to torture someone in such a cruel way?

“As expected” Callahan stated, while Rick tried not to shiver in fear.

“My King, we just wanted to put an end to this instead of trying to alert more people and causing unnecessary stress. If news got out that my pack was targeted, the other packs would never do any

business with us. We would be isolated and left to rot. I apologize for my selfishness but it was only for the survival of my pack.”

Callahan did not say a word to him but only looked at Elijah who came forward and grabbed Rick by the collar, dragging him out while Rick kept screaming for mercy.

The echoes of his screams died down after a while and just me and Callahan were left in the room with the bodies.

“So you wanted to be a part of this investigation. What does your mind suggest?” Callahan suddenly asked me and I looked up at him nervously.

is gaze traveled to my I and I pulled it away.

that was still gripping the edge of the table

Rubbing the back of my neck nervously, I answered.

“That they are all afraid and somebody is trying to take advantage of their fear, filling their mind with doubt.”

“Who would that be?” He asked, and I replied, “The Rogue King. Though, I have no idea how or why he would be interested in witchcraft.”

Callahan shrugged, “That I would only know when that bastard comes face to face with me and stops hiding behind the trees.”

He then added, “Come forward and inspect the symbols up close. See if you can find a pattern.”

I gulped.

So far, I had maintained a good distance from the corpses since my initial bravado had evaporated when I entered the morgue.

But I could not accept that in front of him.

So slowly, I stepped forward and stood beside him, and looked into his

eyes.

“Not at me, you have to look there” He pointed at the bodies and I nodded before forcing my neck to turn in their direction.

Up close, it looked even more eerie. The wounds had been cleaned but the flesh looked red and raw from the inside.

I tried not to puke as Callahan reached for a scalpel and handed it to me.

“Poke at it if you want. See if you can find out something more.”

My eyes went wide but I nervously reached for the scalpel, holding it between the pinch of my fingers, and somehow placed it on the skin, trying to not shake,

Callahan had moved to the other corpses and commented, “All of these

look a certain age, like in their late 20s. Do you see any other similarities?”

I was focusing too hard on not trying to let my fingers shake so it took me some time to answer.

‘I…uh…yeah, they all are male.”

Callahan snorted, which was something I did not think he could do when surrounded by corpses. But then, he had killed so many people that the idea of death did not affect him as much as it affected me.

“Good observation. So, do you think some witch is trying to raise an army or something?”

I held the shaking hand with the other as I tried to answer.

“I am not sure. I have only encountered Mirabel so far. I have no idea if there are more witches.”

Callahan scratched his chin and saw the way I was holding the scalpel and came forward.

“That is not how you do it.”

He reached for my hand and held it, showing me how to work. The scalpel’s tip scratched the skin of the corpse and I tried not to shu

“Apply a bit of force. You have to take a sample and observe it clos see if you find any finger marks or hair.”

My breathing was uneven as I felt the scalpel pierce into the flesh an sink in, making me close my eyes instinctively.

“Cal, please…don’t,” I whispered, but he continued to pierce it further, making the tip sink much further.

My eyebrows furrowed and my body was shaking as he held me caged his embrace, making me dissect the corpse.

“Cal, please. I am not liking it,” I said again, but it was as if he could not even hear me.

When he pushed the tool so far inside that the tip of my fingers touche the skin, I shouted and threw his hand off mine.

‘Can you not hear me? Stop it!!” I screamed as Callahan watched me impassively.

My hand was trembling, and the tool fell from my hand, clattering on the floor loudly, the only other sound in the morgue in addition to my ragged breathing.

I staggered back, my hand reaching for support on the edge of the table, but I quickly shook it as if I was trying to shake off a fly when I realized the corpse was lying on it,

“What is the problem?” Callahan asked with a straight face.

“What is the problem? You are the problem. How can you expect me to simply start dissecting and playing with corpses as if I had been doing it all my life? I begged and pleaded with you so many times to let go of me, but you kept pressuring me to come forward, to touch it, to do everything you wanted. I am not like you, okay?”

I blurted out, pushing the hair out of my face and taking in deep breaths. Tears stung at the back of my eyes as Callahan did not say a word.

He simply kept watching me as he bent down to pick up the scalpel from the floor and held it in front of my face.

Bits of flesh and blood were sticking to it.

“If you are done with your screaming, get back to work.”

He pushed the scalpel back in my hands, but I pushed it away, sending it clattering to the ground again.

“I DON’T WANT TO DO IT, YOU MONSTER.”

I screamed as Callahan picked it up again and was walking towards me, but I started yelling again.

“I said don’t you dare give it to me. Can’t you see it is affecting me? I have not killed people like you did, okay? I am not stone-hearted like you and neither can I take lives as if I am the Grim Reaper. I

recently found my wolf and became your anchor, so please give me some time to adjust to this brutal world of yours, okay?”

I began and kept speaking and ranting letting all the confusion and

disgust I felt on touching the bodies tumble out of my mouth.

Callahan did not say a word as I called him names, said over and over of how ruthless and unaffected he is, how he thinks of humans and his pack members as nothing but soldiers who were supposed to kill and die just because he said so. I went on and on and on.

By the time I slowed down, I realized I had uttered some nonsense, but I was too annoyed by the way he was forcing me to cut the body. It still gave me the shivers.

My heart was racing, and I stopped speaking after a while, taking a few deep breaths to calm myself.

If Callahan was angered by my words or hurt, he did not show.

He only took a step forward and lowered his head to whisper in my ear in a cool and calm voice.

“And yet you think you are capable enough to tackle the Rogue King.”
